Shoes and Pattens (Medieval Finds from Excavations in London #2)

Shoes and Pattens is part of the Museum of London's Medieval Finds from Excavations series, presenting detailed archaeological analysis of actual footwear recovered from medieval London excavation sites. This volume covers the construction, typology, and evolution of shoes and pattens from the period, drawing directly on physical evidence rather than artistic interpretation alone.

Written by leading specialists in medieval material culture, this reference documents last shapes, sole and upper construction, fastening methods, and stylistic change over time, offering a level of detail rarely available outside of academic archaeology.

An essential resource for costumers, cordwainers, and reenactors pursuing historically accurate footwear, as well as historians and collectors interested in medieval material culture.
